Police in Peru have seized a mummified human, between 600 and 800 years old, from a former food delivery man who claimed to have had it at his home for three decades.

​The mummy was in the isothermal bag the man had once used to deliver food to people's homes.

​The man, 26-year-old Julio Cesar Bermejo, will remain in detention while investigators look into the case, a government official told AFP on Tuesday.

Bermejo told local media the mummy, who he called "Juanita," was "like my spiritual girlfriend."

4. Likely robbed out by a family member

That bugged me, too. I hate it when the numbers don't match.

The tribe the mummies originated in did have a tradition of bringhing them home for religious feast days (guess they didn't eat much) and making sure they were properly dressed, but they were people who remembered Grandma or whoever she was.

This guy is just being weird.
